Frequently Asked Questions

My partner isn’t willing to go to couples therapy. Will it still work if I come by myself?

Absolutely! Individual therapy can still be beneficial even if your partner isn't ready to join in. Working on your own personal growth, ways of communicating your needs, and exploring challenges can help you have new tools to build a healthier relationship. When your partner is ready, they can join as well.

Will the counselling therapist take sides or blame one of us?

No, our therapists do not take sides or place blame. Our non-judgemental approach sees issues as the problem in the relationship, rather than one or both partners. Our role is to facilitate understanding and communication. We help both partners explore and talk about their needs, feelings, and thoughts—as well as being able to hear each others needs. Our goal is to create a supportive environment for resolving conflicts and strengthening your relationship. We’re creative, compassionate listeners, and use a supportive approach in our work together.

What if I’m uncomfortable sharing family issues with a stranger?

At Attune Counselling, our experience and training help to create a safe, confidential space where you can share at a pace that is comfortable for you. Over time, many people find discussing family issues with an objective and neutral professional can lead to valuable insights and solutions. We’re here to take it at a pace that suits you best. 

How can family, friend, or work relationship counselling benefit me if the other people involved are not willing to participate?

Even if others aren't willing to participate, individual counselling can still offer significant benefits. Many aspects of how we navigate relationships stem from our own internal reactions and coping mechanisms. Therapy can help you gain clarity and develop healthier communication skills when facing complex situations. Together we’ll focus on strategies to manage and improve your relationships.
